Wide ranging answers: I have attached a number of topics that would be relevant to an individual who has developed sudden swelling and rediness in one leg. This in no way is a substitute for medical advice. And there is no intention in this answer to provide treatment or direct your course of care. This is just an aid to perhaps enlighten you as to why your physician drew blood from you at the time of your visit.
